Background
The bearing is an indispensable standard part in the fields of machinery, vehicles, aerospace, ships, energy sources and the like, and is also one of the most vulnerable parts in a related transmission system, and 30% of faults in rotary machinery are caused by bearing failure. Therefore, bearing condition monitoring and early failure diagnosis have attracted much attention. On-line monitoring gradually becomes a prerequisite guarantee for reliable operation of large bearings in the fields of generators, ships, high-speed rails, aircrafts and the like, and monitoring indexes relate to various aspects such as temperature, vibration, rotating speed, noise and the like. The early bearing monitoring system is mainly externally hung, and one of the disadvantages is that the distance between a sensor and a signal source is long, the sensor and the signal source belong to non-contact indirect measurement, and the error is large. In recent years, different forms of embedded bearing monitoring systems are proposed successively, so that the problems of measurement accuracy and accuracy are solved well, but the structure of related equipment needs to be changed so as to install a sensing monitoring system, so that the problems of stress concentration of parts of the equipment and the like are easily caused, and the embedded bearing monitoring system cannot be realized on equipment with complex structures or limited space; most importantly, when the monitoring system needs to rotate along with the inner ring and the outer ring of the bearing, power is not conveniently supplied through a wire, and the service time is short due to the fact that power is supplied by a battery. Therefore, the existing bearing monitoring system is basically a periodic and indirect non-contact measurement, and the running state of the bearing is difficult to obtain accurately in time. In view of the above, various forms of self-monitoring bearings based on magnetic coupling excitation power generation and supply have been proposed, and the biggest problems are that: the magnetic interference exists, the difference of the power generation performance is large when the rotating speed is different, the effective frequency band is narrow, the reliability is low, and the like.

When the piezoelectric vibrator i is a single crystal beam, the bonding surface of the substrate i1 at the fixed end of the piezoelectric vibrator i and the piezoelectric sheet i2 is positioned on the cross section x3 of the half shaft d4 where the symmetric center of the ring groove d5 is positioned; in the working process, when the swing shaft d rotates to enable the left swing amount above the swing ring g and the right swing amount below the swing ring g to be maximum, the deformation amount of the piezoelectric vibrator i is maximum; then, the swinging amount of the swinging ring g and the deformation amount of the piezoelectric vibrator i are gradually reduced along with the rotation of the swinging shaft d, and the swinging amount of the swinging ring g and the deformation amount of the piezoelectric vibrator i reach the minimum when the swinging shaft d rotates 180 degrees, so that one-time complete excitation of the piezoelectric vibrator i is completed; in order to avoid the piezoelectric patch i2 from being damaged by excessive pressure stress, the working process needs to ensure that:
